I have also seen the SCSI terminator power fuse blow when the terminator is
hot plugged.

I have a Sun 3/E, including a SCSI/Ethernet board, that ran fine the last
time it was powered on. There is a collector in southern Germany who also
has a 3/E board set. I didn't see any contact information for the
simulator
owners.
The originator of the Reddit thread works on this simulator and is the
point of contact.
They're really interested in moving off the Sun 3/e rather than continuing
to try to get spare parts etc. I've also suggested they check the
capacitors and fuses, especially on the Ethernet/SCSI cards, since the
originator claims multiple failures. The Ethernet fuse in particular is
likely very easy to trip because people these days aren't used to AUI
adapters which generally *can not* be hot-plugged without blowing a fuse.
